The following are the Top Five Philippine sites which I find to be relevant and useful in your search for finding great online deals in the internet. In these sites you can sell, swap, trade, auction or buy various items from other users. I have here listed the best sites for the trade, the do’s and don’ts, and my experience in dealing in these sites.

1. ph.88DB.com This giant online company has established a presence in almost 8 countries and provides a free online classified ads service. It is a subsidiary of JobsDB.com, the no.1 Job search site in Asia Pacific. With its innovative way of presenting product and service descriptions and a comprehensive range of categories such as Household, Wedding, Pet, Health & Fitness, gives people the power of choosing the right product or service they require. It is also a great place at finding business franchise deals.

2. Sulit.com.phThe E-Commerce Sulit.com.ph is definitely a rising star in the Philippine online classifieds scene. What I like about Sulit the most is it’s Service oriented and Community driven approach. The Ad currency system also plays a large part to it’s popilarity.

3.a TipidPC.com is the leading trade site for buying and selling brand new and second-hand computer parts and peripherals in the Philippines. In this trading site you can buy new or used Add-on Cards, Cables and Adapters, Casings and Power Supplies, CD/DVD-R/RW Drives, Cooling Devices, Desktops Systems, Digital Media Players, Digital and Web Cameras, Game Consoles, Game Controllers, Games and Software, Graphics Cards, Hard Disk Drives and more.

This site is the little brother of TipidPC.com. It caters to trading mobile phones, smart phones, and other gadgets or devices. Though carrying the same community members and services from TipidPC, the cellphone trade site has not enjoyed as much success as the former. It boasts meager hits of no more than 400 members simultaneously during peak hours. However, it still is worth checking out since you might find a good deal in getting a cheap refurbished mobile phone or a repriced brand new gadget.

4. Multiply.com Multiply is an international social networking service, I included it since it is very popular here in the Philippines to online traders.Website Worth:$14,038,462.83 (Cubestat)Daily Pageviews: 6,410,257 (Cubestat)Daily Ads Revenue:$19,230.77 (Cubestat)

5. Auction.phAuction.ph provides online market services where members can buy or sell goods and services, either through bidding or buying. After a potential buyer chooses an item, the buyer fills up a form and pays thru the site’s payment facilities.

Special Mention:The following sites could have made it to our Top Five.

PC-Tipid.com is an online trading site almost similar with TipidPC and with a familiar sounding name (reversed letters). The site has an advantage over TipidPC in the sense that all members are premium members for free. They have their own image hosting for your Ads, and they also have an item shipping system included. Compared to TipidPC, they have implemented a site-wide points system for every transaction. The only advantage of TipidPC over them which I clearly see is that TipidPC has been around for sometime thereby establishing their marketability to the online community, and the number of visitors to TipidPC is huge compared to this new kid on the block.Website Worth:$6,727.68 (Cubestat)Daily Pageviews:3,072 (Cubestat)Daily Ads Revenue:$9.22 (Cubestat)

Ebay.ph The buyer pays according to seller’s payment instructions, including PayPal, COD, or Bank payout as written on the item listing.Website Worth:$330,068.04 (Cubestat)Daily Pageviews:150,716 (Cubestat)Daily Ads Revenue:$452.15 (Cubestat)

BuyandSellph is the online version of the popular Buy and Sell Ads paper in the Philippines. What you tend to expect in the paper is somewhat the same in this online version with a few variations in paid Ads and links.

PinoyPC.net is a Forum based Computers and IT marketplace which implements a one thread per seller policy. It has a tight community with friendly members.

They offer a place in the web for anybody that needs advertisements space for their goods, sercives, events, and other things that may want to advertise for free. The site disclaims any liability from any transactions conducted over its website.

OLX.com.ph is used in over 40 countries in 15 languages. The company was founded in March 2006 and is privately held. OLX provides a simple solution to the complications involved in selling, buying, trading, discussing, organizing, and meeting people near you, wherever you may reside.

It is recommended that though these sites are good in helping you find the best deal for your business, it is always imperative to be very cautious in every deal. Most scammers, swindlers and low-ballers are lurking behind a nice username.
